9 ¹ As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. 9 ² And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 9 ³ Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him. 9 ⁴ We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work. 9 ⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." 9 ⁶ As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay, 9 ⁷ saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam"(which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing. 9 ⁸ The neighbours and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?" 9 ⁹ Some said, "It is he"; others said, "No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man." 9 ¹⁰ They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?" 9 ¹¹ He answered, "The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash'; so I went and washed and received my sight." 9 ¹² They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
